On a Topps-Oops note I checked my invoices/packing slips and one of them is actually for someone else's order. So the Mercer cards I received had another individuals name on the packing slip.

I received my Torres card yesterday so all 3 cards from the set were shipped separately and they gave me an extra Mercer card. This can't be a sustainable shipping practice for Topps.

Needed to get 2 Ozzie Albies cards replaced, everything seemed good, they sent 2 Lewis Brinson cards...

Got my two Sogard sets today. They were all in one box and look near perfect, though one Machado has a tiny ding on the bottom edge.

Was the case taped shut or rubber banded? Someone else got theirs and it was taped shut.

By far this has been the best way Topps has been sending their cards...I like it as it's very easy to pull off..

Rubber bands. Also had foam front and back.

Early stuff starting to dry up.

Looks like only 1 legit Week 2 bundle is currently available... if you don't count the $6,969.69 BIN LOL

And 6 Week 1 bundles are available.

Gonna push the singles up if that's the only way to complete 4,5 and 6

I think we are going to see this as time goes on. As Joejoe says they are not limited but I think a lot of people are actually doing the set and holding them.

The fact last week saw an uptick in commons hopefully is a good sign.

Most definitely "LESS".

Not counting replacements, which probably makes the print run higher.

Why would Topps put returned garbage cards back in the mix if they would be just returned again?

Print run is definitely higher. The actual quantity in circulation is hopefully close to the posted PR.

Acidblack · 06-22-2018, 09:02 AM

It occurs to me that if Topps releases a set every week and continues their practice of shipping one week’s set after the next one is available, as long as the Living Set keeps living nobody will ever have a complete set in hand. Even if you have every card, you will allways be three cards shy of a complete set.

Which makes a pretty good insult, as well. “That Mike, he’s ok. He’s three cards shy of a complete set, though.”

Not everyone returned their damaged cards.

that seems like a risky practice

It happens more often when you think or they send a full set when you need 1-2 from it replaced, or they just randomly send you other cards.

I love the set, but print runs are more of a good start for an estimate of cards on the market rather than an accurate cound

ToppsNowFan · 06-22-2018, 09:52 AM

Centering on my cards have been abysmal.

Out of a usual 10-20 pack I pull 2-3 decently centered at most usually. I feel like the earlier cards were WAY better with centering and the recent ones are just awful and way off.

You’re asking questions I don’t have answers to. I also got a couple extra Acuna’s when I ordered my 20 count bulk order. So yeah, the print run is more of an estimate.
